Pingouin Purl Machine

Very sought after vintage machine which was still in original cardboard box with all accessories.

 I thought it needed a special table but it has a very unusual set of brackets that actually lift when you screw it to the table (excellent idea)  It produces a soft hand knit fabric and requires a lot of weight to operate.  Fascinating machine, however, it must have been a pain to knit full size knitwear because of the weight distribution.  The bed is white – very unusual - I doubt I will ever get another.   The needles are double ended for garter stitch.
